A Song For Gay Lovers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._N._Taber

We all have bad days from time to time. Some months, too (like November) bring the kind of weather that does nothing to cheer us up. Here's hoping today’s poem will bring a smile to any long faces; it has not appeared on the blog since 2010…so time for an airing methinks.
  
A SONG FOR GAY LOVERS

It doesn’t matter that we’re gay,
our love is pure;
whatever people say, it will endure

It doesn’t matter that we’re gay,
happiness is ours;
day by day, winging heaven’s towers

It doesn’t matter that we’re gay,
time is on our side;
ebb or flow, let golden hours decide

It doesn’t matter that we’re gay,
we can dream too;
come what may, we’ll see it through

It doesn’t matter that we’re gay,
our love is pure;
whatever people say, we will endure
